// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify the agent you need

    Describe the job in natural language — its data sources, tools and the answers it must produce.

  2. Deploy Nexent

    Clone the repo and run the deployment script with Docker, or Kubernetes for a production cluster.

  3. Configure models and knowledge

    Connect your LLM/embedding providers and import your documents into the knowledge base.

  4. Generate your first agent

    Use the zero-code flow to generate an agent from your description, test it, and publish a version.

// features

Why people love it

Zero-code agent generation

Describe requirements in natural language and generate executable agents instantly — what you think is what you get.

Multi-model integration

OpenAI-compatible with any provider, with full LLM, embedding, vision, speech-to-text and text-to-speech coverage and easy model switching.

A2A agent collaboration

Agent-to-Agent protocol support enables multi-agent cooperation and distributed workflows.

Layered memory

Two-tier memory (user-level and user-agent-level) keeps context persistent across conversations.

Personal-grade knowledge base

Real-time import and intelligent retrieval over 20+ document formats, with auto summaries and fine-grained access control, plus knowledge-level citations for traceability.

Marketplace, versions and multi-tenancy

An agent marketplace with one-click installs, agent version management with rollback, multi-tenant isolation and role-based access control.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone Nexent and enter the project directory.

    git clone https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent.git
    cd nexent
  2. Deploy with Docker

    Run the deployment script in Docker mode (recommended for individuals and small teams).

    bash deploy.sh docker
  3. Or deploy on Kubernetes

    For enterprise production, the same script targets a Kubernetes cluster.

    bash deploy.sh k8s

Questions, answered

Who maintains Nexent?

Nexent is maintained by ModelEngine-Group, with documentation on its project site.

Is Nexent free?

Yes — it is open source under the MIT license. You pay for the models and infrastructure you connect.

Does it need a paid API key?

You connect your own model providers (any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), so you need an account or key for the models you choose, or a self-hosted endpoint.

How does it compare to Dify or Coze?

All are low/zero-code agent platforms; Nexent's focus is auto-generating agents from natural language with harness-style constraints, layered memory, A2A collaboration and enterprise multi-tenancy in one open-source package.

How do I get started?

Clone the repo and run bash deploy.sh docker, then follow the Quick Start to configure a model and generate your first agent.
